恢复另一个版本的mysqldump文件

Question

I am restoring a mysqldump file to another server. The versions are close, so I didn't expect any problems. I get:

:/var/backups$ sudo mysql -f -u root -p dbasename < backup.sql 
Enter password: 
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 542: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''  Current\n          * President/CEO at  Echoingwalls.com\n        * Develope' at line 1

Other's solutions with this error message haven't been helpful. How can I detect if my back up is corrupt? I am pretty sure the versions of MySQL have been pretty close (both 5.x).

Any specific instructions on how to restore this would be appreciated.

Answer 1

It seems like you may have an inconsistency between how your systems are escaping single quote;

... use near ''  Current\n          * Presi  ....
              ^ Note the addtional quote

Do diagnose the problem compare both tables

show create table mytable

And campare the sql modes

SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;
SELECT @@SESSION.sql_mode;

For more help find the insert statement in the dump file and post the sql.
